Modem stopped working after TFTP IP Change...

[ricey]

Hey guys,

Won't take up too much of your time. Just a few days ago my hacked modem stopped working. Obviously done my reading and found out the TFTP IP had changed, so naturally I tried changing the TFTP IP. Couldn't get online.

A bit more reading said that you can no longer force configs (although some still can!) so tried a different mac which I have used before that is already 20mb not forcing config. Still couldn't get online.

Just wondering if anyone can help me out?

Cheers


PS. I am using infinite firmware, and I am ex tw and the TFTP address was uddingston before the chnage.

I'd do an upgrade to haxor, it finds and fills in all the details by it's self. apart from your mac of course!

Is there a tutorial or something I could read?

I don't even know where to download it It isn't in the FTA and google isnt giving me owt

cheers!!

if its ambit, get ambitconfig0.971beta, set it up press getmac/test link, then untick force config, press apply see if you can get on line

After some poking around, I eventually got online by unchecking both the force config option and the cm_annex fix. So what does this mean? Does that mean that the new TFTP no longer accepts forced configs?

If so, is there a way around this at all? Eg, an alternative TFTP address? Or whatever?

What can I do?

(and thanks for the replies folks )

get DHCPForce, put the mac you used into mac address, then goto dchp and press discover, see if tftp ip is the same 1 has you are putting in your modem

[ricey]

yes it is, it is the new TFTP addy 10.137.103.3

any thoughts?

sorry for bothering you! And thanks for yer help!

come on ricey a simple search or reading would give you this,,try the new tftp, open ambitconfig, click get mac/test link, then tick override tftp cfg, you have tftp filname,cmreg-ntlhm250-bund03.cm and above that you have fftp server ip, now click that and enter your new tftp ip,then press apply

I've had to untick the force config, input the new TFTP IP 10.137.103.3 then reboot modem. If you go into the config page 192.168.100.1 you will see what config that MAC is in connection tab. I then reconnect and force MAC and for most i've tried they do force again.

Yeah I know, I tried that previously (except it wasn't the NTL config, it was the cm-20480-768 as I am ex TW). But it wouldn't let me online, until I unchecked forced config. And then I was getting speeds of between 700kb-1.8mb (on what is supposed to be an orignal 10mb mac...unless they have downgraded since then).

I should have said I already tried that :P


Womble - are you saying just untick forced config, apply, unplug etc then tick it again? Or have I misunderstood that?


I feel like I am annoying people now!
